FAUCET Application filed December 12, 1929.

rThe present invention relates to an improvement in faucets, and the object in gen- Y eral is to provide a combination faucet having a swinging spout and a soap dish constructed and related substantially as hereinafter shown and described and more concisely pointed out in the claims. Combination faucets having depending spouts and superposed soa faucet both the spout and soap dish mounted centrally above the body of the faucet in a simple and effective way, and the soap dish is supported ata substantial height above the faucet handles and the swinging spoutis also placed in its entirety at a higher elevation than the faucet body and free to swing without coming into contact with any vessel or object beneath the faucet.

ln the accompanyingdrawings, Fig. l is a front elevation of a combination faucet embodying the improvement, and Fig. 2 is a sectional view thereof on line 2 2 of Fig. 1. 3 is a cross section of the soap dish mounting on line 3 3 of Fig. 2. Fig. l is a sectional view of the faucet body with the spout and dish removed and the supporting member for said parts aiiiXed to the body. Fig. 5 is a sectional View and elevation corresponding in part to Fig. 2, but showing the soap dish removed. Fig. 6 is a cross section of the spout on line 6-6 of Fig. 2. Fig. 7 is an enlared sectional view of a modified form of rotatable union for the spout.

The faucet comprises an elongated hollow body 2 having hot and cold water branches and valves 3 and i respectively, at its opposite ends. The valves and branches may be variously constructed and arranged according to common practices, but body 2 is preferably provided at its middle with a bulbous enlargement 5 having an upwardly extending outlet branch or neck 6 which is smoothly finished internally and screwthreaded externally. An integral lug 7 eX- tends inwardly from one side wall of the bulbous enlargement 5, and this lug has a screw-threaded opening 8 in line with the axis of neck 6 to receive and support the screwthreaded lower end of a shaft or cylindrical dishes are known, but in the present Serial No. 413,539.

Vmember 9. The upper end 10 of shaft 9 is largement 18 of the spout, thereby providing a lateral support for the spout and permitting the spout to rotate thereon. The tubular extension 14 of triev spout vis reduced in diameter to provide an annular shoulder 19 adapted to abut the upper end of the union-nut 16, and the lower end of the reduced extension n 14: is screw-threaded to permit a screwthreaded ring or washer 2O to be secured thereto.

A smoothly finished side-thrust collar 21 Vis sleeved upon extension 11i above the screwprojects upwardly a short distance above the bearing nut 17 in the topk of the spout to permit a soap dish 2% vto be secured thereto. For that nur Jose the soao dish is provided its l h l Y i 1 bottom with an inset` ferrule or socket 25 naving longitudinally serrated or grooved inner walls 26 adapted to sleeve over the angular corners of the squared end 10 of shaft 9. ln

that way the dish maybe loclted against rotatable movement on the shaft and also squared or aligned with body 2 when first placed thereon.

The spout is thereby supported between the dish and the faucet body and free to swing in respecttoboth and also in such an elevated position that the body may be mounted niuch lower in a sinh than other faucets and still be EECESED, @PERAT- IGS free to swing in the sink without striking a vessel placed underneath the faucet.

A slightly modified form of the invention is shown in Fig. 7, wherein the supporting branch or extension 14 for the spout is made relatively longer and provided with a smoothly finished reduced extremity 28 adapted to engage and rotate within an opening in a cross wall30 in body 2. A longer rotatable bearing and firmer support for the spout is thereby provided, but the structure is otherwise substantially the same as hereinbefore described.

What I claim, is:

l. A faucet body having an internal lug and an outlet branch, an upright shaft detachably connected with said lug and extending upwardly through said branch, a dish surmounting said shaft, and a spout rotatably secured to said branch and shaft beneath said dish.

2. A faucet body having a vertical branch and outlet, a cylindrical member secured to said body and extending upwardly through said outlet, a spout rotatably mounted upon said branch and member, said member beingI reduced in size within said spout to provide a water passage, and a dish secured to the upper end of said member.

3. A faucet body having a vertical outlet and a rigid member extending upwardly and axially in respect to said outlet, a spout having a tubular extension rotatably mounted within said outlet and sleeved rotatably upon the upper end of said member, and a dish detachably connected to the upper end of said member.

4. A faucet body having a vertical outlet,

Y a spout having a tubular intake extension projecting into said outlet. a side-thrust collar on said extension within said outlet, a supporting member fixed to said body and extending upwardly through said extension and spout, and a dish fixed to the upper end of said member.

5. A faucet body having a vertical outlet branch, a spout having a tubular intake extension rotatably confined within said outlet branch, a coupling nut for said spout detachably connected with said outlet branch, a f rigid shaft extending upwardly from said
